Literature : What, Why and How

What is Literature?

When we talk about the literature that time many thing in the mind.  But for me literature reflect our life. In literature we see the all thing which happen with us in our life. We see our life in the literature. Literature reflect our character. We read any novel or the story in that we compare our character with the novels character. Literature is about our life. In literature it is in written form and in our life we see practical with our life. When the problem came we take help or the solution from we read any novel or the story. We compare the both problems and try to solve it. Literature taught us  recognize the people. literature shaped me in the way of looking of the people. I start look the people in two side and now I can’t faith on the people in short time. when I know about them till I don’t faith on them. Literature taught the show every aspect of the thing or the people.   

Metaphor

When we talk about the Literature and the topic is give Metaphor of literature. Many metaphors came in the mind confused in which proper Metaphor reflect the Literature. So here I give two Metaphor, “one is Fertile Soul, another is like Ocean”. The soil is fruitful and it helps a lot the people. Literature reflects culture and society like that farm reflect the Nation. The India’s famous quote is “Jay Jawan Jay Kisan”. This thing reflects the India. From this soil everyone got something some get good thing and some get bed thing. But no one is empty. Like that literature taught many things. Literature taught lives a life, way to see people. Literature taught the main thing knows the person. In Fertile soil anything you born in soil it grow and from that many people earn money. Another one is sea here I take Metaphor Sea as its sounding. As everyone know about the no one know about the Depth of the Ocean. No one reach at the bottom of the sea. Like that no one reach at the bottom of the literature. In every language lots of the work written. No one say that I read all book. We listen that the this person write the first book of literature, this man start writing. But the no one have proof of that thing. Before that person many people write but no one know about that. Like ocean we go in that to see the bottom of the sea we can’t see the bottom; but we see the many beautiful thing, we wants to go in depth of the ocean. Like that we can’t reach the bottom of the literature but go deep inside and learn many thing, get many information and our interest increased to know about the literature. Go deep in literature and every time learn things.

One Night @ the Call Center shaped me ?

        

How Literature Shaped me?

The definition about so many. But one definition of literature is very famous and most of know about this, “ Literature is Mirror of the Society”. Its reflect the society and the our Culture. When the talk about the how literature shaped me I think that when I take admission in B.A that time I feel nervous because I am the student of Commerce. Fist  two week of F.Y.B.A I confused and what I am doing. But after some time I feel quietude. But some days of the starting of B.A In my mind question like that I am not on a wrong path or not take a wrong decision. But after the some time all question prove wrong and happy about the choose this decision.

So the last five year i am in this field of literature. I learn the many thing from  the literature. I feel that I saw the thing in all perspective. I see the thing from the every side. From the novel One Night @ the Call Center I learn many things. The novel written by the famous writer “Chetan Bhagat”. In this novel every character different and the every character has a problem and they dealing with problem.

The story reflect the middle class family of India. I see in the novel the male character Shyam and varun they both have a problem in the call center (office). The military uncle he has problem in his home his son not live with him so he is alone and do a job in call center. The female character Radhika, Priyanka and Esha they have a with a family means in home. We see the problem of the male and female. The male has no problem in a home and the female has problem in home. Why the female has problem in home?   Because they do a job? Radhika is married so she always try to happy her motherinlow, priynaka ready for marriage for her mother, and esha wants to model so she left the house.

In this we see the problem and the parts of problem in male and the female. It reflect the Indian culture. In India the male has a freedom of everything they do what they want, they never take a permission of any thing. But the female has not a permission to what they want, always take a permission. Its reflect the “Purush Pradhan Desh”. I saw the difference between the boys and the girls (male and female). They both are equal. In present time the girls do  all work. They have courage and capable to defeat the boy.This is my view and I from this novel. But in many place in present time this thing happen. In small town the lady is married and do a job she complete his household work and then go the office. She also try to do happy her family and important her mother-in law. Like character of Radhika. The male has never tension about his family because they said that work is his wife not him. She deal with all.

In the end when the God’s call came that time I feel that when the danger or death in front of us that time the our voice and courage face and live that time no one can say that they defeat the problem. They said God save us. In Gujarati the aphorism when the problem came and defeat with and live that tim they said “ Bhagavn ae Bachavya or Bhagvan Dekhay Gaya”. Never praise themselves always give credit the god. 

Poem Daffodils

Daffodils 

Poem “Daffodils” written by the famous poet “William Wordsworth”. The poem first published in 1807, in a two volumes and revised version was  published in 1815. The poem was inspired by an event on 15^th April 1802 in  which Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy came across a “Long Belt” of Daffodils . The Poem is commonly seen as a classic of English Romantic Poetry, although poems, in Two Volume in which it first appeared, was poorly reviewed by Wordsworth’s contemporaries.

In this poem the most famous line is,

                                     I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud      

This line is poems first line. The poem is very well known poem. This poem is best loved poem in English Language. In this poem we see a personification. In the first line considered the poem’s mood. In The first stanza.  The poem written in Four Stanza in every Stanza the Four line. The poem follow the Wordsworth’s definition of “ THE SPONTANEOUS OVERFLOW OF POWERFUL FILLINGS: IT TAKES ITS ORIGIN FROM EMOTION RECOLLECTED IN TRANQUILITY”.   

In the first stanza of Wordsworth’s “I wandered lonely as a cloud” the speaker uses first person to personalize what he says and to give more depth and meaning to his words. In the first line, the speaker uses melancholy diction to describe how he “wandered lonely as a cloud”. He then shifts to a euphoric tone when he describes the “host of golden daffodils”. He uses descriptive imagery when he says that they were “fluttering and dancing in the breeze”. The reader immediately senses that the speaker has brought him to a Utopia. The peaceful language and the description of the beauty allow the reader to feel carefree and at ease. In the second stanza, The  he speaker shifts his focus from the daffodils and compares them with the “continuous…stars…that shine and twinkle on the milky way”. The speaker allows to reader to experience the majesty of seeing “ten thousand [stars]…at a glance”. At this point, the reader begins to sense that he is not on earth anymore, but rather in a place full of majesty and beauty, perhaps heaven or some other form of afterlife. Throughout the poem, rhyme and rhythm help it to flow smoothly, giving the readers a continued sense of utopian peace. The rhyme scheme, ab ab cc, is an integral part of bringing the reader a sense of rest and peace. This stanza not only allows the reader to feel the sense of peace the speaker feels, but also to feel life. This is not simply a peaceful place; it is full of life. Figurative language and personification are used when the daffodils are described as tossing “their heads”. This gives the readers the feeling that this peaceful, utopian place, is also lively and spirited.

The third stanza continues the personification describing how the waves “danced” and the daffodils “out-did the sparkling waves in glee”. This continues to give readers a sense of peace and joy combined with lively action. The personifications of the daffodils also reveals their effect on the speaker as he regards them with life and attributes to them the ability to feel “glee”. The speaker then shifts the focus back to himself as a poet when he says, “A poet could not but be gay”. This portrays the effect the dazzling daffodils had on the speaker. When he says, “What wealth the show to me had brought”, it shows that the mere sight of the golden daffodils somehow enriched his life and brought wealth to him. The use of the word “wealth” reveals that this sense of peace and joy are worth more to the speaker than money or other worldly wealth. This also gives the reader the idea that some things are worth more than money and worldly goods, such as peace, joy, and life. In the fourth stanza, the speaker shifts from a peaceful, joyful tone to one of pensive thought. He also comes down from the cloud and reveals the reality of his current physical state. Even though he no longer sees the dancing waves and the golden daffodils, he reveals that he will never forget them when he says, “they flash upon that inward eye”. The speaker reveals that he not only still has the memory of the daffodils, but that he has also kept the memory of how they made him feel. He reveals this when he says, “And then my heart with pleasure fills, and dances with the daffodils”. This gives the reader the sense that the speaker has either been dreaming, or has had an experience in which he caught a glimpse of heaven. It leaves the reader with a yearning to find that perfect place of utopian peace.

I also make on blog on the Wordsworth’s Preface  to Lyrical Ballad  to see that click here  Lyrical Ballad of the Wordsworth.  Wordsworth is famous and the well known writer. The poem Daffodils is wrote on the one flower. In this poem I see the one abstract the title is Stylistic Analysis of Daffodils by William. In that abstract they use key words; style, stylistic, Wordsworth, loneliness, nature, faith, Phonological level, grammatical level, graphlogical level. In one point the Scope of the study they say, this work shall be exclusively stylistic and analysis will be conducted through the use of the following levels of analysis: laxico-syntaqctic patterns and choice, phonology, graphology and morphology. Other points Limitations of the study. This poem is the well known and the one of the best work of the  Wordsworth.

         Harry Potter 




Harry potter Harry Potter is a series of fantasy novels written by British author J. K. Rowling. The novels chronicle the lives of a young wizard, Harry Potter, and his friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, all of whom are students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The novel devided in eighth part. The novel is famous in the children literature, because of magic and the fantasy. J.k.Rowling include the all point in the novel. Like self-help book, children literature, Feminist Discourse, discourse of power and politics etc…..  

1.      Femininst reading of Hermione’s character in Harry Potter:

The character of Hermione is the central and the protagonist of the novel. She is intelligent and the sharp minded girl in the novel. Many another also a female character in the novel  but Hermione is the central character. She has a good grasping power. The another female character are Ginny Weasley, Luna Lovegood, Dolor Umbridge, prof. Narcissa Mlfoy, Lily Luna and other. The concept of the feminist reading of Hermione, in this point we see the in novel Hermione in good character. In some part Hermione is main character in some part. In first part Sorcerer’s stone. In this part Hermione solve  the problem with power of magic, she solve the secret with help of book. But in some part Hermione need help when the monster came she can’t fight with him. She need a help for save her life. So the Harry and Ron came and save her life. In some part she is silent character. She is not highlight in the part. In the third part Hermione is the central character. She has a time-turner machine and she showed the Harry all process and she remove the illusion that  he saw his father. The Feminist discourse is when the big danger came the Hermione need the help she can’t some situation. The another point is when Ron see the Harry and Hermione set together Ron angry on her he can’t listen her and go away. That time her character like poor. Another female discourse is color of skin when Ron and Harry danced with the black skin girl  that time they feel bed. and set in the corner. So the discourse of skin color.  Hermione is smart but in some point she stand second point because she is girl and show the man power and hero.       So the feminist discourse we see in the character of Hermione and another character.  

2.     2.  Discourse on purity of blood and Harry Potter:

Discourse on purity of blood and Harry Potter we see the thing in novel. The discourse in pure blood and the mud blood. The discourse between the death eaters and the order of the phoenix is a conflict between the extreme edges of a minority community and the law abiding. We see the in one scene Batrix write on the Hermione’s hande “The Mud blood”. In that scene we see the how the important of  point the  mud blood and purity of blood. Also a purity of blood and mud blood is a theme of the novel. When the talk on this point Hermione feel nervous and bed. the point show the stereotype society and the mindset of the people about the mud blood. The mud blood reflect the history of the Muggle. In the second article pure blood supremacy in that we see the belief that wizard and witches whole family has not married any muggles were inherently biologically superior to wizard and witches who had done so.  Also talk about the half bloods and half breeds with contempt and considered the Muggle word to be inferior to their own. In third article

3.Self-help culture and Harry Potter:

The self help culture we see in the all part. Harry, Hermione and Ron they are always ready to help and never think about them self, they never think that if they help Harry they injured or their life in a danger. Also a rule of Hogwart school any body can break the rule their point cut but they never think about the point and always ready to help each other. In this article we see the all characters point of the self help culture. In forth part Goblet of Fire in that in the last task the Cedric in the danger and harry with him. That time the Cup in front of the Harry. But harry save the Cedric’s life and they both take a Cup. In second article the character of Harrys it show a helpful and the all the problem solve and save the another students life and school of Hogwarts.

4     The discourse of power and politics in Harry potter

The power and politics we see this point in every part but the main point when the harry wants to meet magistrate that magistrate not in the school. The second thing is the in the sixth part when the Harry and Dumbledore go for the know about Half Blood Prince that time Dumbledore said him to obeyed me. That time we see the power. Also we see the power of media and the politics. In the article we see the point about the power and politics how the J.k. Rowling use this point in the Harry potter.

Thinking Activity on 'The Da Vinci Code'

The Da Vinci Code is a novel. Written by Dan Brown. The novel is mystery thriller. Novel published in 2003. The book also refers to The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail (1982) though Dan Brown has stated that it was not used as research material. The Da Vinci Code provoked a popular interest in speculation concerning the Holy Graillegend and Mary Magdalene's role in the history of Christianity. This blog is part of the classroom thinking activity.

#About Author:

Dan Brown is the author of numerous #1 bestselling novels, including The Da Vinci Code, which has become one of the best selling novels of all time as well as the subject of intellectual debate among readers and scholars. Brown’s novels are published in 56 languages around the world with over 200 million copies in print.

In 2005, Brown was named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by TIME Magazine, whose editors credited him with “keeping the publishing industry afloat; renewed interest in Leonardo da Vinci and early Christian history; spiking tourism to Paris and Rome; a growing membership in secret societies; the ire of Cardinals in Rome; eight books denying the claims of the novel and seven guides to read along with it; a flood of historical thrillers; and a major motion picture franchise.”

The son of a mathematics teacher and a church organist, Brown was raised on a prep school campus where he developed a fascination with the paradoxical interplay between science and religion. These themes eventually formed the backdrop for his books. He is a graduate of Amherst College and Phillips Exeter Academy, where he later returned to teach English before focusing his attention full time to writing. He lives in New England with his wife.

#Brown states on his website that his books are not anti-Christian, though he is on a 'constant spiritual journey' himself, and says that his book The Da Vinci Code is simply "an entertaining story that promotes spiritual discussion and debate" and suggests that the book may be used "as a positive catalyst for introspection and exploration of our faith".

The novel Da Vinci code novel is famous. In this novel we see the both things. The novels some point about the Christianity. The whole novel based on the the Mary Magdalene's holy grail. The novel revelse the history of the Mary Magdalene and her sarcophagus. The character are follow the Christian rules. The character of the Silus he give pain himself. He stand in front of the Jesus and Silos rope kills itself.  Also a Dan Brown use the book "Holy Blood and the Holy Grain". Some of the things take from this book. Dan Brown support the argument is nothing Kills better than religion. The character of Sophia in the end she do one seen in that she touch the water and said the water don't change in the wine.

#You have studied ‘Genesis’ (The Bible), ‘The Paradise Lost’ (John Milton) and ‘The Da Vinci Code’ (Dan Brown). Which of the narrative/s seem/s to be truthful? Whose narrative is convincing to the contemporary young mind?

"Genesis, The Paradise Lost and The Da Vinci Code" this three the Christianity and religion is the main and major theme of this three narrative. In this three novel some of the point convincing the contemporary young mind. In the Paradise Lost the Edam can't wait and control himself to eat the an apple. Like this the  young mind can't control and the wait for some things. The Da Vinci code the character of Sophia is like a contemporary female character. In present time the girls are powerful and successful in all the work.


#Although it is obvious that much of what Brown presented in his novel as absolutely true and accurate is neither of those, some of that material is of course essential to the intrigue, and screenwriter Akiva Goldsman has retained the novel's core, the Grail-related material: the sacred feminine, Mary Magdalene's marriage, the Priory of Sion, certain aspects of Leonardo's art, and so on[1].” How far do you agree with this observation of Norris J. Lacy?

In the novel brown present the Grail-related material the sacred feminine, Mary Magdalene's marriage, the Priory of Sion, certain aspects of Leonardo's art I agree with this point. Brown give all the things with proper and the correct material. So the help of clue the Sophia and  Robert Langdon finally reach the holly grail of Mary Magdalene.

#What difference do you see in the portrayal of 'Ophelia' (Kate Winslet) in Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet, 'Elizabeth' (Helena Bonham Carter) in Kenneth Branagh's Mary Shelley's Frankenstein or 'Hester Prynne' (Demi Moore) in Roland Joffé's The Scarlet Letter' or David Yates's 'Harmione Granger' (Emma Watson) in last four Harry Potter films - and 'Sophie Neuve' (Audrey Tautau) in Ron Howard's The Da Vinci Code? How would justify your answer?

In all the work characters are different. But  Harmione and the Sophia this two characters are different from the all characters. They both represent the 21st century's character they both are free and successful and main thing is they both face the problem and solve the riddle. Character of Ophelia, Elizabeth these characters are the kind and soft. They are like Indian woman. For them the family first and her self last. The character of Hester prynne she is fight with the people and she struggled with society with courage. She never think about the society. She give birth of her child and give name she never think that she is a single mother how she Enlarge the baby. So the character of Hester Prynne, Sophia and Harmoine they are the different from the my point of view.

# How far do you agree with the India.      represented in the novel The White Tiger?
 I agree with the novel represented the India. In this novel we see the culture of the India and the people who are the religious. How people live in the India. It also reflects the poor India. As we see a movie "Slumdog Millionaire" in this movie all the things describe and the most part is the is India's biggest poor area Dharavi. This novel  stire on poor people, uneducated, driver,  Pulled rickshaw,  Village life, landlords and the religious people. How people believe in the religious and the rumor. So this novel reflect the India.

Yes, the  Balram's story is the archetype story   of some percentage. The Balram doing many things which are the bed and good. He take both path good or bad. Some when he take make of Ashok it was bed way. Like a movie Slumdog Millionaire How the Jamal become reach. He know the answer because of the every question connect his past moments of the life. But we see the how rich people think about the poor people. So the Balram's story connect the archetype.
